On the LAm: Vanessa Etourneau

Forget the LAPD’s Most Wanted List. Vanessa Etourneau just made my most wanted list. She speaks six languages, dresses sharply and has excellent penmanship (as evidenced by check forgery to the tune of $136K). What’s not to like? Oh yeah, she might steal my shit and skip town.

When Vanessa is caught she will reinforce my stereotype, built from years of movie watching, that all female prisoners are total hotties who take showers all day when they aren’t getting into topless catfights or being mistreated by a corrupt lesbian warden. And of course, a wrongly-imprisoned hottie will eventually orchestrate a dramatic jailbreak (somehow leveraging Vanessa’s language and forgery skills), but not before giving the warden a taste of her own medicine.

I met Vanessa in London in 1999/2000 when we shared a flat for a few days in Bayswater.
She is much prettier ( stunning) in real life and was sorting her life out.
She is as clever as she is sexy and not many women can do both.
Hope she is well and settled down.

…i don’t want to spoil your fun – Vanessa certainly is hot, but not in the manner that would suit your fantasies…she’s a beautiful, vulnerable and sensitive young woman, now living a normal life and and fearing very much that her misguided past will eventually catch up with her…she’s no Bonnie and Clyde material so please wish her the best, as i do …so V., whatever happens, you know who i am…faithfully yours P.

Hi, I used to know a Vanessa Etourneau in Bangkok in 1992, we lost contact when she moved to Hong Kong shortly after, I last saw her in Hong Kong around 1993-95. I do not know if this is the same Vanessa. I know she left Hong Kong to go to California around that time and pictures of her as I have seen above look so similar to her. I would like to contact her. Really like to contact her again!

The telling stats for me are 5’9″ and 125 pounds (!). In other words, the reason she hasn’t been caught yet is that she’s a stick figure who can blend in perfectly with all the other non-fat latte carrying, yoga mat slinging, trade paper highlighting wannabe gals in L.A.

How hard can it be to find this woman? She frequents these areas? As in, she’s still in town? If I had the time, I’d track her down as part of my detective hobby. I’ve already caught one car thief (no thanks to the LAPD), tormented him into starting to pay me restitution, and caught and prosecuted my hit-and-run driver, no thanks to the Santa Monica PD. Neither case took great genius to crack, just interest and persistence.
